			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Adobe.com designed and developed the PDF reader known as the Adobe Acrobat Reader. It is a free program in its basic form, and is used to access and review .pdf files. The Acrord32.exe file is an executable file which is a process which runs in the background of your system whenever you use Adobe Acrobat Reader.</p>
<p>Try not to forcibly shut acrord32.exe down as it is important for the correct functioning of Adobe Acrobat Reader, and can not be ended without making the program crash.</p>
<p>After you close acrobat reader down, the file should shut down within several minutes of the program closing. However, if you are running a slower system, you may need to shut down the acrord32.exe file as soon as the program has ended. Give your computer a moment to process the request before continuing on with your next project.</p>
<p>Although it is not a virus, some viruses may attempt to attack your computer by making it appear as if they are the acrord32.exe file. One method of making sure which case it is, is by checking your task manager and being aware of recent actions you have taken. Adobe Acrobat Reader will not activate unless you open a .pdf file, so if you haven’t opened one recently it is quite possible it is a virus. Placing your computer in safe mode and scanning with your anti-virus may assist you in finding the virus and getting rid of it.</p>
<p>Always remember to run your anti-virus regularly to avoid any possible problems in the future from these viruses. Although they are not perfect, many times if you can catch it soon enough you can prevent the virus from doing irreversible harm to your system.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An executable file used by internal modems, the Agrsmmsg.exe file is a default file on all computers and laptops. Its purpose as a file is to allow the audio-modem riser (AMR) modem and computer to communicate directly. Although not a critical file, it is essential to properly running and maintaining communication with your internal modem.</p>
<p>If you are encountering any kind of problem with the Agrsmmsg.exe file, it is possibly related to a virus or spyware. Run your anti-virus and/or spyware software immediately.</p>
<p>Keeping a good anti-virus is essential to protecting against this kind of problem. They will scan your system registry for anything which is not supposed to be there and delete or quarantine it. Never use an anti-virus you aren’t sure of. If you need a good anti-virus but don’t wish to pay for it, AVG’s well known Anti-Vir is an excellent choice as it is available for non-commercial use for free.</p>
<p>If you are not sure if your Agrsmmsg.exe file is a virus, you can check by opening the Windows Task Manager and accessing your processes. After you open it, look for the .exe file and see if it is in the correct Windows System file (C:\Windows\System). If it isn’t, then it is definitely a virus. Be careful of any registry virus as it can do some serious damage.</p>
<p>Always carefully examine your Windows Task Manager if your system appears to be running sluggish. The issue with the Agrsmmsg.exe file may be occurring with other files which are being impersonated by viruses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Asmonitor.exe is an executable file in the spyware family. It is some kind of software belonging to the real spy advertising program. When installed in your system, asmonitor.exe monitors the browsing patterns and resends the data back to the program creator for his convenience.</p>
<p>Asmonitor.exe also allows advertising pop-ups. Continuous and unconstructive pop up can be extremely annoying and sometimes ceases the system. This is a security risk to the computer and should be removed from the computer without delay.</p>
<p>The file asmonitor.exe can be found in the subfolder in the program files in the drive where the windows has been located. Identified file size for Windows XP are 2500096 bytes (40% of all occurrence), 665088 bytes, 2346496 bytes, 2345472 bytes, 664576 bytes, 2345984 bytes. You will find an icon in the taskbar for this program. It is generally found beside the clock. You won’t find the whereabouts of the maker for this program.</p>
<p>Asmonitor.exe can monitor several applications, record inputs for various resources, can be connected to the internet on its own and has the unique capacity to hide itself from the antispyware programs, just like Trojans. Here the security threat is 27%.</p>
<p>Asmonitor.exe can also be found in the ‘Program files\Common files’ in the drive where Windows has been installed. In that case the file size would be 666112 bytes and the security threat is increased up to 76%. Still you won’t find the name of the program maker. The threat is increased as because Asmonitor.exe can change the behavior of the other programs or can manipulate the functioning of them.</p>
<p>Asmonitor.exe can not be counted as a Windows core file. You can remove the program from the Start ? Control Panel ? Add/remove program.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>apntex.exe is a driver software made for the touchpad hardware in any notebook computer. This touchpad software works only in NT/ 2000/ XP version of the Windows and must not be removed from the system unless and until any kind of hardware problem is faced.</p>
<p>The file apntex.exe can be found in the subfolder of the Program files where the Windows has been installed. Generally the program makes its own subfolder and can be located in the directory ‘Windows drive’\ Program files\Apoint. There are different recognized file sizes, for the Windows XP it is 45056 bytes (83% of all incidence), 32768 bytes, 40960 bytes and 36864 bytes. Thus the apntex.exe program can also be located by its file size.</p>
<p>apntex.exe is not a Windows system file, so you may not find it in the ‘Windows drive’\system 32 directory. The program can hide itself, so it is sometimes invisible. This program is not digitally signed by Microsoft, and technically the security threat can be determined as only 17%.</p>
<p>apntex.exe is flagged as a process integrated in the system and does not materialize as a security risk. Nevertheless, removing the program (basically a pointing device driver in the notebook computer) may adversely affect your system. The program is used by the notebook to collect inputs from either the touchpad or from the mouse pointer. Removing the program will not let the touchpad to work properly.</p>
<p>The security threat can be measured in the scale of 10 is only 2.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The acals.exe process is an application file that is called as AhnLab Program created by the AhnLab Inc. The acals.exe process belongs to the ACA 1.0 that is meant for the Windows.</p>
<p>It is important to remember that the acals.exe process is not one of the critical components. In order to optimize the CPU, memory and the Internet settings, you must run a scan of your computer system. The scan process also helps you in determining if the acals.exe process is a legitimate process of the Windows or is any type of virus, which is achieved by tracing the location of the acals.exe file from where it runs. The scan also helps you in identifying the errors that might be related to acals.exe process.</p>
<p>The acals.exe process is capable of running in the background. The most common path of the acals.exe process is “C: \Program files\ Common\ AhnLab\ ACA”. With this information, you could easily determine if your acals.exe file is a virus or not from the fact that the spyware version of this file will have a different path and has the potential to be spread over the system as well.</p>
<p>Some of the spyware or malware programs have the capability of disguising themselves as acals.exe process and could be spelt in a way slightly different from the original process.</p>
<p>In general, the acals.exe is an application process and is not a spyware, adware, malware or related to any other kind of pop ups. You must have a look at the details of the acals.exe process before you decide to delete or remove it from the system.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The a4proxy.exe process is better called as A4 Proxy. This a4proxy.exe process is created by iNet Privacy Software.</p>
<p>The a4proxy.exe process is capable of running a proxy server locally on your computer which makes you anonymous when you surf. The a4proxy.exe process disguises your IP address of your computer so as to make you an anonymous browser or user of the Internet while you browse the web sites.</p>
<p>The a4proxy.exe process is often an application process. The a4proxy.exe process does not appear as any kind of security risk, so is safer to use.<br />
What the process server database does is that it registers the a4proxy.exe process to the software iNet Privacy for the present time. If at all you are much concerned about the a4proxy.exe process, you could visit any of the web sites available so as to verify if your file is revealing too much of information which could be done in the anonymous browsing section. The data in the process server database is updated frequently. But it is important to note that some of the viruses, if they exist might cause some inaccuracies. Such viruses could be named after a valid file such as A4 Proxy. You are recommended to verify the results always so as to ensure that you are safe from any kind of potential virus.</p>
<p>When you want to determine if the a4proxy.exe process is a virus or just another legitimate process in your system, you could perform a full scan of your computer to find the location or the path where it runs from.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The aoldial.exe is a system process that has the common file location “C:\Program files\Common Files\Aol\aoldial.exe”. This aoldial.exe program could be either installed by you or available on your system right from the day when you purchased the system and installed by preinstalled software.</p>
<p>Using the aoldial.exe file’s location, you could easily determine if it is a spyware or not. There are possibilities that the spyware version of the file could be slightly spelt in a different way so as to fool you and make the searching process difficult.</p>
<p>The aoldial.exe process is meant for AOL internet service and most often used in the cases of dial up connections. For those who use the broadband connections of the AOL or AOL BYOA which stands for “Bring Your Own Internet service”, your system is less likely to be infected by any type of adware or spyware.</p>
<p>If you feel that a spyware has disguised itself as the aoldial.exe file, you must check for the active processes that are running in the Task manager. In the process tab, you could easily trace the file that is unnecessarily running on the system and terminate them by clicking the “End process” button.</p>
<p>It is important to keep in mind that the aoldial.exe file is neither a spyware nor an adware. The aoldial.exe file is not related to any kind of pop up as well. The aoldial.exe file is neither a virus nor a Trojan and it is recommended that you should not remove aoldial.exe file.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The backweb.exe file is considered as a security risk. It is better known as Activsurf backweb. This backweb.exe process has been reported to be waiting in the background until you connect to the Internet. Upon the completion of a successful net connection, the backweb.exe process will try to download and install the updates if any, which are available in the system. In cases where the backweb.exe process proves to be a potential problem, you could choose to terminate the process.</p>
<p>It is strongly believed by most of the organizations since the Backweb software is increasingly used by the major companies of the world, the backweb.exe process seldom poses any problem and often enables the applications that exist to provide better productivity for the employees and the customers. Such companies believe that the backweb.exe file is not a spyware and it is a fact that most of the current anti-virus programs consider this backweb.exe as a legitimate process.</p>
<p>You can note that there is an icon present on the taskbar for the backweb.exe process next to the system clock. It is important to note that the backweb.exe process is not a system file of the Windows. The backweb.exe process is capable of listening and sending data to open ports via the Internet. The backweb.exe is capable of monitoring the active applications.</p>
<p>Some of the common file sizes of the backweb.exe are 28KB and 15KB. The file size of 15KB is the most common occurrence. You must note that the backweb.exe is not necessary to run during the start up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The asm.exe file is considered as a security risk but originally is a file that is created by Brilliant Digitals. The asm.exe is more often associated with spyware and hence it is recommended to perform a system scan to detect and remove the spyware threats so as to guard the privacy of your system.</p>
<p>The manual steps to detect and remove the asm.exe file are discussed below:</p>
<p>The step one of the removal process is to search the path of the asm.exe file which could be done using the File search tool of the Windows. To refine your search results, you could use the “Look in” option and choose “Local Hard drives” and trace the path of the asm.exe file. Upon the completion of a successful search, you could copy the path that is present in the address bar.</p>
<p>In the step two of the manual removal process of asm.exe file, you must remove the asm.exe file from the active processes tab in the Task manager. This could be easily accomplished by clicking the highlighting the process and clicking the “End process” button.</p>
<p>As the last step of the removal of the asm.exe process, you are supposed to detect and remove other asm.exe related files. This could be done by running the Command prompt and search for the desired asm.exe file by just typing in “dir/” followed by the name of the folder. The files could then be deleted using the command “del” followed by the filename. The entire folder could be deleted using the “rmdir” command.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“acais.exe” is an application process that runs in the background on the machine. It is more or less an independent executable file, which does not need an external process to initiate it. This application process comes as a part of ACA 1.2 for Windows, which is a product of the company AhnLab, Inc.</p>
<p>There have been numerous discoveries of the acais.exe process and with different version numbers. Some of the version numbers that have been found recently are 1203, 1201 and 1205. Out of these, the most common occurrence is that of 1203, which is of a size of 23 kb approximately. Other versions of this service process exist in different sizes.</p>
<p>“acais.exe” bound to create and register a dll (Dynamic Link Library) file associated with the system processes. Since this runs as an independent background process, it is created, executed and terminated by itself. While being on execution, the files gets code entries from other programs and saves them to its own virtual memory space.</p>
<p>The process normally resides in one of the following two folders, “program files\ common files\ ahnlab\ aca” or “program files\ ahnlab\ aca”. Though this file resides in the parent installation directory of the ACA application, it serves to be a malware program since it does not come along with a legitimate certificate signed by a trusted windows source. These do not pose serious threats to the system or the information within the system. The process can be removed permanently from the system by using a proper anti spyware software.</p>
